Research Scientist Positions in Singapore

Cognitive Modelling
Research programme in Computational Cognition for Social Systems

The Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore's
national agency for promoting world-class research in science and
technology, has launched a research program to study and simulate the
social and cognitive processes underlying appropriate, coherent, and
understandable behaviour in social interactions.

The host institution for the program is the Institute of High
Performance Computing (IHPC), a research institute within A*STAR that
specializes in solving challenging scientific and engineering problems
using computational science and engineering (CSE) technologies such as
modelling, simulation, and visualization.

We are seeking recent PhDs in AI/cognitive modelling who have a strong
interest in integrating constructs from both cognitive and social
psychology in the design and building of cognitive model architectures
and systems, initially in the domain of affect and interpersonal and
inter-agent interaction.

Interested applicants should send their CV and contact information for
two letters of recommendation to Professor Ortony at
ortony at northwestern.edu, putting "Singapore Application" in the
subject field.

You might also want to meet the research manager, David Pautler, who
is attending the AAAI Fall Symposium on Commonsense Knowledge in
Arlington, VA Nov 11-13 and SCiP/Psychonomics Nov 18-20 in St. Louis,
MO.

Positions will be for an initial period of two years. A*STAR is an
equal opportunity employer valuing diverse cultures and disciplines in
our research environment.
